From the What's New File (whatsnew.pdf) for TOAW III (v3.4): "The SitRep Log now includes combat results information – and that information is also available in a .CSV file that can be employed in AARs. There are already user-made routines to exploit this."

Rather than reinventing the wheel, can anyone point me to any of these user-made routines or their creator(s)? Thanks.

As it happens I once upon a time wrote a program in Java that would parse the CSV files that TOAW III outputs to get an HTML file you could view with your browser which was a report on all the combat events that took place that turn. But this was a couple of years ago and unfortunately my hard disk crashed and took all my files with it. Alas, there's no trace of my program left but a search of the forum might reveal the appropriate thread where I posted it ( but Matrix games has probably already deleted the thread ) but I don't remember, now, what the name of the program was nor the name of the specific thread. It's probably somewhere on somebody else's hard drive but unless somebody remembers it and still has it I suppose we're out of luck. It's been so long ago that I don't remember the specifics of the program and I've been playing WITE and WITP-AE since then and TOAW III only shows in my rear-view mirror. I took a look on the file server where I've stored a bunch of TOAW stuff but alas, I could find neither hide nor hair of any related files. I'm guessing it's long gone by now. Sorry.

Thanks. But unfortunately link dead. Larry, I guessed it was you somehow...

So... that leaves me with the dreaded Q 'is there anybody out there who kept a copy?'. Happened to me a while back with the Victory Level Calculator- I still have the exe file but the VB project file is long gone too, and a plea for anyone who had one to get in touch didn't work then either.

Hey Steve......I've had a change of heart. I decided to recreate the CSV reader program from fresh scratch this morning. I just now got through downloading the Eclipse IDE to do so. I'd appreciate a copy of whatever you have ( Project 1 ) as well. Especially any source code you might have for it. I'm going to try to re-create it for you guys so you can at least have a report on all the combat events that occured during the turn I'm at fulkersonlarry60(at)gmail(dot)com Thanks.

Hey Steve: Your PM worked it's magic. I found enough clues to do a search around the hard disk and found all the input files needed to reconstruct the CSV reader program. It's working and ready to deploy.

By the way you guys........I've been away from TOAW for such a long time that I don't remember which is the "current" version and I don't remember what the command line switch is to turn on the outputting of the CSV files. Can somebody help me out with that?

ORIGINAL: General Staff You can just open the CSV file in MS Excel or OO Calc and then save as a TXT file to do this.

So um.......The CSV reader program I wrote outputs an HTML file that you can open in your web browser but I was thinking that the player / user of the program might rather have a regular text file instead of an HTML file. Hence my question originally.

This is the kind of output you get right now from Project 1. I'm going to try to develop a version that outputs text instead so it would be handier for players to do cut / paste operations so they can use it for their AAR. I'm thinking of calling it "CSV formatter" or something like that to distinguish it from Project 1. Stay tuned.
